“In connection with our religious aims and beliefs, we must promote economic security. The preaching of economic security among us is by no means as widespread and intensive as the circumstances demand. No other one thing is more needed among us at this time than greater economic power. Better positions for our men and women, more business employment for our boys and girls and bigger incomes will follow our economic security. We shall be secure in nothing until we have economic power. A beggar people cannot develop the highest in them, nor can they attain to a genuine enjoyment of the spiritualities of life.

Our men, women and children should be taught to believe in the capacity of our group to succeed in business, in spite of the trials and failures of some of them. Trials and failures in business are by no means confined to any particular group of people. Some business ventures of all people fail. We have many men and women among our people who are qualified, both by training and experience, who are shining lights in the business world of all the people. It is a sad weakness in us as people that we have withheld the very encouragement, support and patronage that would have made some of our worthy business ventures a grand success. And worst of all, have joined in the condemnations of them when they failed. Except in cases of actual dishonesty, discourtesy, lack of service and actual unreliability, our business enterprises in every field of endeavor should have fullest of confidence co-operations and patronage whenever and wherever they can be given.” – Noble Drew Ali

In the mission for progress it must be understood that the Moorish American community can not demonstrate effective social and political power without simultaneously displaying economic power, creating a strong financial base and networking system and projecting intelligence in the arena of financial decision making. These critical elements formulate the basis which generates the circumstance for a paradigm shift regarding the transference in “World Power.” Asiatics, whether Moorish American or not, must learn the western system of politics and realize that the election of Asiatic officials to high office, prestigious positions in large multinational corporations, commissions, agencies, governmental seats and the like, will generate relatively little to increase the power of the Moorish/ Asiatic community or emancipate it from its subordinate relationship to the Non-Asiatic community. Neither will it measurably enhance the probability of its future survival as the issues of social power are a collective issue, not an individual conquest for social positioning.

Ultimately, the power of “position” reflects the power of the constituency it represents and which supports it. As long as the Moorish American community is impotent and weak so will be its representatives, no matter how high their office or (in the) black their bank balance; and the Moorish/Asiatic community will remain relatively weak as long as it remains in economic disorder and socially disorganized, and will not accumulate and effectively utilize any level of significant wealth. The Moorish community can amass power and influence by displaying an effective social organizational structure and also by effectively utilizing organized wealth that is accumulated by (Moorish) communal financial programs and institutions. Once Moors learn and understand that a great amount of power in the Western Hemisphere is centrally organized around economic organizations, i.e. Corporations, Banks, Investment Agencies/Firms and Governmental agencies that are designated to mandate and control the responsibility of the economy, the Moors in this day and time will gain a greater (collective) position in society and amongst the family of nations. Once this is understood, it will also be known and understood that the one that controls the economic resources is provided with a continuous and stable base of power in any society or social unit or conglomeration. This basic knowledge teaches that the Economic “powers that be” also control “who gets what and what caliber of what the who’s get.” In knowing “who gets what” also increases one’s understanding of what will be produced, for whom will it be produced, how much will be produced, when will it be produced, what will be the cost, who will decide who will be employed, how will the goods and services be distributed and what type of technology will be used in the production of the product and so on and so forth.

For the Moorish community to maximize its economic and political power, it must maximize its wealth, its understanding of wealth and its ability to plan to maintain wealth. This is done by organizing an economic system by which it can acquire, produce and distribute resources in such a manner that is able to provide for its own needs and can use them for their (Moorish) own socio-political interests and affairs. The complete utilization and maximization of resources and economic power of the Moorish community require that the Moors honestly and realistically access their financial structure and educational system regarding economics and business. This economic analysis process also requires the Moors also evaluate their relationships with other Economic communities and power sources. Therefore, to realistically accomplish any level of success within the economic and business arenas, Moors must drastically restructure their internal structure regarding the dynamics of economics and also their external relations with national and international communities.

In the restructuring of the Moorish Community and Economic system, the philosophy of a “nation-within-a-nation” must stand firm in the minds of each Moorish citizen as each decision must reflect the whole as a unified force and a cohesive and organized power. This must become the current mission of the Moors in the Western Hemisphere while also addressing the following issues:

• An economy that is heavily dependent on external businesses, product suppliers and markets

• The increased desire to purchase products that display the illusion of wealth (Living for the Jones”) which also increase the value of imported goods and services that come into the community while there is a decline in the value and need of exported services

• The decrease in per-capita income which has a direct baring on credit scores and household maintenance

• A high birth rate, a decrease in the desire for education which creates an increase in unskilled labor, low rates of increase in labor productivity and a small monetized market

• Much of the developed portion of the economy is owned by foreign entities which affects and limits entrepreneurship and effective financial knowledge regarding the future of the Moorish economy.

• Businesses lack capital as the local markets are limited and the projection for growth appears restricted which increases incidents of credit default.

• Savings rates are low and what is saved is usually not invested in a progressive Moorish community.

• Unemployment is high, government assistance is needed to help pay for basic needs. Also, a great mismanagement of funds that is received from governmental aid and assistance.

• The economic and social infrastructure of the Moorish community are relatively disarranged, i.e. fragmented, disunited and disorganized.

• An educational establishment structured after the political and socio-economic dynamics of the economically dominant group so as to continue the miseducation and training of the Moorish youth thereby perpetuating its underdevelopment, noncompetitiveness and dependency on “defacto” powers in this hemisphere.

Until these issues are addressed by intelligent and proactive Moorish Americans for the benefit of Moorish Americans, there will continue to be problems within the communities and the socio-economic structures of the Asiatic’s in the Americas. The characteristics of underdevelopment that is listed above are the results of the adaptation and the adoption of foreign values, beliefs and standards. However, as the results further engrain themselves in the everyday psyche of the Moorish in this land, the results soon become the causes as the community will subject themselves to underdevelopment, miseducation, social disarray and economic dependence. The way the Moorish American economic system has been structured and organized is directly related to the history and current nature of the socio-economic relationships between the Moorish and the foreign powers that “Be” and to the ways in which the Moorish community has been and is affected by the national and international industrial and economic powers established by the policy creators that are placed in power by the foreign powers that “Be.”

To correct these issues, the Moorish must reduce any and all signs of economic subjugation by creating their own policies, community agencies and outreach organizations, financial lending institutions, social and medicinal security, progressive business strategies, and insurance benefits. The Moorish community must learn how to effectively “utilize” money to create capital while creating the continuous process of the transformation of capital as commodities into the retransformation of capital as commodity into more money, then more capital. The modern Moors must honestly access their current position, potentialities and resources, as well as those of their adversaries, to properly set effective strategies and tactics in action. The idea of a cohesive and unified nation-within-a-nation must become a reality in effect as it is the key to power, progress, independence and solidarity.

Another entry toward power and independence lies within the development of a Moorish Stock Market. This meeting place for buyers and sellers of product and securities allows the Moorish to involve themselves in the traditional European American capital market systems. This entry, with large numbers of well trained Moorish financial brokers and innovative business owner, would create the atmosphere for the assisting of the Moorish community in achieving economic and political self-determination and power. An increased number of Moorish American brokers and business owners, with an in-depth knowledge of the operations of capital markets, would help create the educational platform for finance, business and credit and asset management. The cohesive plan in the arena of finance and business would increase awareness and the ability to make appropriate financial decisions as Moorish consumers, community leaders and heads of institutions would work in their best interests and in the best interests of the community (nation-within-a-nation) as a whole.

Remember, the Moorish American community cannot become a powerful socio-economic and political factor in America until they (we) establish a significant presence in the national and international capital market systems. Accomplishments in this area of development must begin with the motivation of large numbers of Moorish Americans being successfully employed and self-employed while functioning in these markets so that the entire Moorish community, world wide, can benefit from their operational and practical knowledge, experience and expertise.

The Moorish Americans “must” organize and structure themselves “for themselves and by themselves.” The constant search for aid should not become a greater priority than the uniting and utilization of Moorish descendents as their own source of resources. Moors have done a dynamic job at supporting foreign entities and their agendas without outside assistance; therefore, Moors can equally support their own agendas, interests, values and economic programs. The formation, organization and structuring of Moorish systems of self-management and self-control is a paramount project for the 21st century. This is the revealing of the blueprint for Moorish Power.

- Grand Sheik: Zothyrius Ali El

“Their (Moorish) dominion and inhabitation extended from North-East and South-West Africa (Amexem), across great Atlantis even unto the present North, South, and Central America and also Mexico and the Atlantis Islands; before the great earthquake, which caused the great Atlantic Ocean.” – The Moorish Holy Koran (Chapter 47:7)

It has been, and continues to be, a well known, but secret, fact the the Moorish were and are genetically and spiritually binded to the mystic past of ancient Atlantis. Just as Noble Drew Ali intelligently left coded evidence of the Moorish relationship to the isles of Atlantis and the ancient Americas in the Moorish Holy Koran (Chapter – 47:7), other sources further validate the teachings of Noble Drew Ali regarding this subject. An example of this can be seen the in writings of a British historian names De Lacy O’Leary who stated the following about the two lands of the Maghrab (Moorish):

• “Central Maghrab extending from the borders of Ifrikiya (Amexem) across the greater part of Algeria and the eastern third of Morocco, and Further Maghrab, which is spread beyond the Atlantic coast.”

The Moorish (Altean Descendents) are the original priest-scientists that inhabited the Atlantean regions with subordinate stations in the Yukatan, Carribean, South East Mexico and North, South and Central America. These great altean descendents, the Moorish, carry the seeds of primordial wisdom which contain the planetary keys of Asiatic destiny. When the great land (Atlantis) was destroyed, the priest-scientists, as represented by the biblical story of Noah, reprised their former Atlantean roles which is evidenced by the connectedness of all the ancient pyramid universities around the Earth. The Moors successfully made the transition from Atlantis to North-West and South-West Amexem. According to the records, Moors, the seafaring Alteans arrived during the per-deluge era when North Africa contained within its borders, the Triton Sea which was borderd by the Atlas mountains. To this day, there are underground temples and libraries that contain the ancient Moorish knowledge that was entrusted to them by the their ancient forefathers and mothers of the great programming center termed Atlantis.

As the genetic mystery in man unfolds, so shall the chambers of the “Hall of Records” unveil the wisdom of the Moors. There are many great findings in archeology, geography and science that reveal the Moors are the key to Civilization. The history and contribution of the Moors is vast and the messages left behind by the great masters of wisdom and light corroborate this as fact. Read the following passage from the records of Thoth, the Atlantean and compare them to the previously mentioned passage from the Moorish Holy Koran (47:7) for the multi-layered codes of Noble Drew Ali are the keys to future inheritances.

- The Emerald Tablets of Thoth Atlantean (Tablet One)

I, THOTH, the Atlantean, master of mysteries,
keeper of records, mighty king, magician,
living from generation to generation,
being about to pass into the halls of Amenti,
set down for the guidance of
those that are to come after,
these records of the mighty wisdom of Great Atlantis.

In the great city of KEOR on the island of UNDAL,
in a time far past, I began this incarnation.
Not as the little men of the present age did
the mighty ones of Atlantis live and die,
but rather from aeon to aeon did they renew
their life in the Halls of Amenti where the river of life
flows eternally onward.

A hundred times ten
have I descended the dark way that led into light,
and as many times have I ascended from the
darkness into the light my strength and power renewed.

Now for a time I descend,
and the men of KHEM (Khem is ancient Egypt)
shall know me no more.
But in a time yet unborn will I rise again,
mighty and potent, requiring an accounting
of those left behind me.
Then beware, O men of KHEM,
if ye have falsely betrayed my teaching,
for I shall cast ye down from your high estate
into the darkness of the caves from whence ye came.
Betray not my secrets
to the men of the North
or the men of the South
lest my curse fall upon ye.
Remember and heed my words,
for surely will I return again
and require of thee that which ye guard.
Aye, even from beyond time and
from beyond death will I return,
rewarding or punishing
as ye have requited your truest.
Great were my people in the ancient days,
great beyond the conception of the
little people now around me;
knowing the wisdom of old,
seeking far within the heart of infinity
knowledge that belonged to Earth’s youth.
Wise were we with the wisdom
of the Children of Light who dwelt among us.
Strong were we with the power drawn
from the eternal fire.
And of all these, greatest among the
children of men was my father, THOTME,
keeper of the great temple,
link between the Children of Light
who dwelt within the temple and the
races of men who inhabited the ten islands.
Mouthpiece, after the Three,
of the Dweller of UNAL,
speaking to the Kings
with the voice that must be obeyed.

Grew I there from a child into manhood,
being taught by my father the elder mysteries,
until in time there grew within the fire of wisdom,
until it burst into a consuming flame.
Naught desired I but the attainment of wisdom.
Until on a great day the command came from the
Dweller of the Temple that I be brought before him.
Few there were among the children of men
who had looked upon that mighty face and lived,
for not as the sons of men are the
Children of Light when they are not incarnate
in a physical body.

Chosen was I from the sons of men,
taught by the Dweller so that his
purposes might be fulfilled,
purposes yet unborn in the womb of time.
Long ages I dwelt in the Temple,
learning ever and yet ever more wisdom,
until I, too, approached the light emitted
from the great fire.
Taught me he, the path to Amenti,
the underworld where the great king sits
upon his throne of might.
Deep I bowed in homage before the Lords of Life
and the Lords of Death,
receiving as my gift the Key of Life.
Free was I of the Halls of Amenti,
bound not be death to the circle of life.
Far to the stars I journeyed until
space and time became as naught.
Then having drunk deep of the cup of wisdom,
I looked into the hearts of men and there found I
greater mysteries and was glad.
For only in the Search for Truth could my Soul
be stilled and the flame within be quenched.

Down through the ages I lived,
seeing those around me taste of the cup
of death and return again in the light of life.
Gradually from the Kingdoms of Atlantis passed waves
of consciousness that had been one with me,
only to be replaced by spawn of a lower star.

In obedience to the law,
the word of the Master grew into flower.
Downward into the darkness turned the
thoughts of the Atlanteans,
Until at last in this wrath arose from his AGWANTI,
the Dweller, (this word has no English equivalent;
it means a state of detachment)
speaking The Word, calling the power.
Deep in Earth’s heart, the sons of Amenti heard,
and hearing, directing the changing of the flower of fire
that burns eternally, changing and shifting, using the LOGOS,
until that great fire changed its direction.

Over the world then broke the great waters,
drowning and sinking,
changing Earth’s balance
until only the Temple of Light was left
standing on the great mountain on UNDAL
still rising out of the water;
some there were who were living,
saved from the rush of the fountains.

Called to me then the Master, saying:
Gather ye together my people.
Take them by the arts ye have learned of far across the waters,
until ye reach the land of the hairy barbarians,
dwelling in caves of the desert.
Follow there the plan that yet know of.

Gathered I then my people and
entered the great ship of the Master.
Upward we rose into the morning.
Dark beneath us lay the Temple.
Suddenly over it rose the waters.
Vanished from Earth,
until the time appointed,
was the great Temple.

Fast we fled toward the sun of the morning,
until beneath us lay the land of the children of KHEM.
Raging, they came with cudgels and spears,
lifted in anger seeking to slay and utterly destroy the Sons of Atlantis.
Then raised I my staff and directed a ray of vibration,
striking them still in their tracks as fragments
of stone of the mountain.
Then spoke I to them in words calm and peaceful,
telling them of the might of Atlantis,
saying we were children of the Sun and its messengers.
Cowed I them by my display of magic-science,
until at my feet they groveled, when I released them.

Long dwelt we in the land of KHEM,
long and yet long again.
Until obeying the commands of the Master,
who while sleeping yet lives eternally,
I sent from me the Sons of Atlantis,
sent them in many directions,
that from the womb of time wisdom
might rise again in her children.

Long time dwelt I in the land of KHEM,
doing great works by the wisdom within me.
Upward grew into the light of knowledge
the children of KHEM,
watered by the rains of my wisdom.
Blasted I then a path to Amenti so
that I might retain my powers,
living from age to age a Sun of Atlantis,
keeping the wisdom, preserving the records.

Great grew the sons of KHEM,
conquering the people around them,
growing slowly upwards in Soul force.
Now for a time I go from among them into
the dark halls of Amenti,
deep in the halls of the Earth,
before the Lords of the powers,
face to face once again with the Dweller.

Raised I high over the entrance, a doorway, a gateway
leading down to Amenti.
Few there would be with courage to dare it,
few pass the portal to dark Amenti.

Raised over the passage, I, a mighty pyramid,
using the power that overcomes Earth force (gravity).
Deep and yet deeper place I a force-house or chamber;
from it carved I a circular passage
reaching almost to the great summit.
There in the apex, set I the crystal,
sending the ray into the “Time-Space,”
drawing the force from out of the ether,
concentrating upon the gateway to Amenti.

Other chambers I built and left vacant to all seeming,
yet hidden within them are the keys to Amenti.
He who in courage would dare the dark realms,
let him be purified first by long fasting.
Lie in the sarcophagus of stone in my chamber.
Then reveal I to him the great mysteries.
Soon shall he follow to where I shall meet him,
even in the darkness of Earth shall I meet him, I,
Thoth, Lord of Wisdom, meet him and hold him
and dwell with him always.

Builded I the Great Pyramid,
patterned after the pyramid of Earth force,
burning eternally so that it, too,
might remain through the ages.
In it, I builded my knowledge of “Magic-Science”
so that I might be here when again I return from Amenti,
Aye, while I sleep in the Halls of Amenti,
my Soul roaming free will incarnate,
dwell among men in this form or another. (Hermes, thrice-born.)

Emissary on Earth am I of the Dweller,
fulfilling his commands so many might be lifted.
Now return I to the halls of Amenti,
leaving behind me some of my wisdom.
Preserve ye and keep ye the command of the Dweller:
Lift ever upwards your eyes toward the light.
Surely in time, ye are one with the Master,
surely by right ye are one with the Master,
surely by right yet are one with the ALL.

Now, I depart from ye.
Know my commandments,
keep them and be them,
and I will be with you,
helping and guiding you into the Light.

Now before me opens the portal.
Go I down in the darkness of night.

“In yonder kingdom of the soul this carnal evolution is not known, and the great work of master minds is to restore the heritage of man, to bring him back to his estate that he has lost, when he again will live upon the ethers of his native plane. The thoughts of Allah change not; the manifests of life on every plane unfold into perfection of their kind; and as the thought of Allah can never die, there is no death to any being of the seven ethers of the seven Spirits of the Triune Allah.” - Moorish Holy Koran 11:36-37

In taking the first step of crossing over the threshold of mundane reality, the adept now travels the path toward the inner sanctorum and the heart of the microcosmic temple. This arduous path that leads upward on the “Mt. of Truth” deeply depends on the fidelity and the pure intent of the adept. These are the determining factors that decide whether the Asiatic initiate advances or remains stationary. It must be understood that Moorish Science has a history, philosophy and a system that is veiled in allegory and tradition throughout the planet sphere that resides within the plane of Assiah, the physical plane of manifestation. This path to enlightenment requires that the adept read, study, reflect, digest and discriminate while seeking the infinite stream of knowledge that is vaulted in Allah’s storehouse of wisdom.

Knowledge, as the light frequency vehicle to higher understanding, is the purest and most real of human treasures, for it is the gateway to defining the otherwise unknown. It is the development of the Asiatic soul and its motivation to utilize its potential that knowledge unleashes the seed that is already perfect with its potential to grow and manifest the end result as designed in its bio-cosmic, etheric and divine blueprint. To learn, to gain knowledge, to acquire understanding, to display wisdom and to ascend to higher planes of being is the primary goal of each honorable and noble spirit being on the plane of Assiah. However, it is also of great benefit to teach and communicate that knowledge to the pure seeker; the one that has surrendered to the divine will of Allah (Moslem/Muslim); and the one that truly desires admittance into the greater realms of being and becoming. To teach with the intent of advancing another is a noble deed and also the worthiest work of man.

To attain al Haqq, the true reality, and to serve humanity with the aim of uplifting fallen inhabitants of Assiah, is also the noblest destiny of man for all men are bound by cords and linked to one great and divine source. Hence to advance another is also to advance one’s self. As demonstrated in the intricate, yet beautiful tapestry of nature lays the blueprint to man’s spiritual growth and development. To understand how the spirit of man unfolds, compare it to the maturation of plant life, a tree. As the tree utilizes the carbon in the atmosphere, the moisture of the air, the rain, the photons (light), and the minerals supplied to the roots by the earth, and by the chemical transmutation that takes place at the cellular level that transforms the previously mentioned elements into sap, fiber, wood, leaves, fruit, perfumes and colors, so does the spirit absorbs and cultivates knowledge, and through a divine alchemy transmutes what it has gained and learned through experience, reflection and study, into its own substance, and grows from within with an inherent force and power that lie hidden in the mysterious working of nature.

Moorish Science is an art for those who learn and understand the philosophy and its operative functionality; and its process will prove beneficial and useful to the adept who works to attain sovereignty of the lower aspects of being, to become adept in the secrets of the subtle realms of power. However, before any level of mastery is achieved, the adept must first choose between of the two paths while manifesting one of the two natures. The Asiatic creation must direct his/her attention toward the higher or the lower nature of him/her self, the noble or ignoble, that which changes or that which does not change (Aught). Moorish Science exists as a discipline, system and way to exalt the nobler and more honorable nature of the Asiatic creations over the profane, the divine man over the flesh man and the spiritual essence of infinity over the physical fetters of limitation.

As taught by the ancient Moorish Scientist and Universal adepts, truth is an eternal attribute of Allah and is the foundation of every virtue. The spirit-man is formed from the essence of truth while embodied in the material prison in which it is influenced by negative passions and intrusive thoughts and urges. However, through intense study and reflection, the desire for oneness with Allah motivates the Moorish adept to arrive at the knowledge of the greater principles of Nature through which lies the gateway to the eternal essence of Allah. This essence, the same that animates and vitalizes the mortal frame of man, quickens the consciousness into the similitude of Allah. In this phase of Asiatic evolution, the adept synthesizes the soul and the spirit to engage in the higher levels of the Divine mind of Allah.

One of the greatest aspects of Moorish Science is the teaching that we are not mortal; that the spirit is not subject to decay or dissolution, but is immaterial and survives the death of the material body; that the spirit-man is capable of advancement within the hierarchies of Allah and that spirit-man can attain greater levels of being which makes man more and more worthy of immortality and the Divine attunement with most Holy, Ancient, Transcendental and Primordial Deity: Allah.

The indivisible unity of Allah (ahadiyya), through the system of Moorish Science, represents the liberation of the ego self from the physical limitations, and is the advancement and attunement into the realms of the unseen and intangible Divine consciousness. This is the height of Moorish Science and not some temporary heightened sense of ecstasy. The achievement of greater consciousness is gained when one liberates him/her self from the lower frequency thoughts that are perpetuated in the mundane psychic harmonic that is generated by bio-cosmic mainframe of illusion, the human brain.

“What your ancient forefathers were, you are today without doubt or contradiction. There is no one who is able to change man from the descendant nature of his forefathers; unless his power extends beyond the great universal Creator Allah Himself.” – Moorish Holy Koran Chapter 47:10-11

One of the key elements in the foundation of the concept of “self” in an individual or body of people is his/her nationality and national parentage identity (natal and cultural identity). The training of a proper self-concept, through the path of nationality, creates a direct relationship to the engendering or disengendering of social, economic and political power. As it is important to evaluate self or natal group for the purpose of building character, moral substance and a strong value system, it also serves in importance to create perceptions of reality to coincide with personal and group power, a progressive social structure and organization and a perpetuated motivation to be excellent in all degrees of life. It should be acknowledged that these elements underlie an individual’s or group’s self-concept as he perceives himself in common with other members of his/her group in society.

The system of values that one ascribes to themselves are typically ascribed to his/her group as a whole as one of the primary principles with which the individual feels the strongest personal attachment and which helps to determine the solidarity of his/her self concept is his/her “Nationality.” The concept of self-ideal, self-identity and self-evaluation are combined under the umbrella of self-concept which is directly related to an individual’s national identity. This foundation of “identity influence” also affects an individual’s denial of self identity as his/her nationality serves as the system of measure by which one would redefine themselves based their anti-identity concepts of self and national origins.

Nationality allows culture and values to become a measuring device by which all other cultures would be measured, examined and analyzed. As it is expressed and understood throughout the world that all known societies are nationality and ethnic oriented; therefore, Moors, conscious and/or unconscious, should never denounce their nationality or minimize the importance of nationality for the sake of economic or educational amalgamation. It has been observed that groups that strongly adhere to their national origins tend to survive and thrive better than tolerant groups that allow themselves to 1) blend their cultural perception and 2) “shape-shift” their identity to please the social and political advantageous groups. With this fact in mind, it is further known that nationality provides a primary basis for social identity, social definition, organization and cohesiveness.

Nationality is an important aspect of the individual’s and group’s self identity which provides a strong sense of nation oriented position and belongingness and historical value. This basic idea of nationality creates the venue by which one begins to take unwavering pride in one’s national parentage identity which serves as the basis for one holding them selves in high esteem. The degree of power, success and social standing is critically important to the national citizenry/members well being, sense of security and purpose as it is also a central component for a holistic existence, a progressive degree of functionality, an integral part for group cohesiveness and familial loyalty. The combination of an appropriate and healthy level of self concept and pride intertwined with an effective organizational structure creates the substance and pathways to social, economic and political power.

This level of self identity, self-esteem, group operation and authority delegation, makes it more likely that the group entity and its citizenry/members would provide for the physiological, economic, psychological and nutritional needs of itself and each of its citizens/members. The concept of nationality, self knowledge and self identity helps to increase a group’s desire to survive and progress while working to maintain a high level of autonomy; thereby producing some modicum of insurance, program implementation and protection for the purpose of advancement and social growth. With a thorough understanding of nationality, comes national consciousness that reinforces the group’s prerogatives, interests, educational curriculums and social progressiveness, which also justifies and validates individual sacrifices for maintaining the integrity and existence of the group of national body. Furthermore, nationality provides the pathway for nation oriented stability and solidarity which encourages the members/citizenry to discourage and prevent the acceptance of foreign, counter-productive and disengendering group cultures that may serve as a lethal and damaging venue for the demise, disintergration and subordination of the group’s infrastructure, organizations foundation and cultural reputation.

Nationality, as an operational presence, allows a group to utilize the essential resources and the unified means by which a group could achieve goals that otherwise could not have been achieved. Once the concept and importance of nationality is understood, it then becomes obvious to how the “lack of” nationality leads to the minimization of ethnic pride, cultural and identity confusion, demoralized character, lowered esteem and a detachment from the group’s original psycho-spiritual platform for salvation and upright development. The destruction of nationality demobilizes and stagnates the group’s growth while dissipating the resources of power and their ability to identify them selves as a source of power; hence, an attack on a group’s national identity is an attack on their central source of strength and rejuvenation. It must be further understood, that once someone control’s the definition of a group’s identity, the group then struggles to define themselves while they also find themselves changing their social identity, struggling to find the “right” self perception that encompasses their behavior and psycho-spiritual essence. This control leads toward a path of perpetual “self” confusion and disarray. After understanding this “power tactic,” no one should ever be allowed, or given power to control or determine another group’s identity, self worth or nationality as this is the genesis of psychological slavery.

Once the nationality and ethnic identity is removed and substituted for inferior brands (Negro, Black, Colored, African American, etc), the group then begins to internalize the negative definitions that are placed upon their national identity, or supposed national identity, which creates a high level of weakness and dysfunction that renders the group powerless and socially paralyzed. This is the end result once your identity has been compromised for the sake of acceptance, amalgamation and positions of illusion. It should now be understood that nationality determines the level of motivation and progressive behavior, the interests and standards, the values and aspirations, the quality of moral character and the vision of the youth that are directed by the fruits of wisdom that result from a strong knowledge of self and national identity. Thus the shaping of the self-concept is the gaining of power over personality and ability.

If Moors are to liberate themselves from any and all levels of domination, Moors must empower themselves, enrich their educational and economic systems as they must also repudiate foreign power that attempts to characterize their identity. Moors, in the 21st century must characterize their own perception of themselves by becoming the primary definers of their own identity, character, behavior and self perception. It also must be understood that no nation in history, either past or present, can rise to power without having pride of their national parentage identity and historical achievement from which they draw inspiration.
